Take a Class delivered via the Internet

Distance learning is composed of several options at UCC. The College offers hosted options, UCC online, IVC, and telecourses. Hosted are courses offered through other Colleges but where students sign up through UCC. UCC online consists of courses offered through Angel online. IVC is interactive video conferencing and telcourses are typically taken through public cable TV. Distance learning generally appeals to motivated, self-starting students who do not like the traditional class delivery methods and want flexibility in their schedules.
